Dr. Ronald Henry Saff, MD

I normally don’t take time for surveys or reviews. This is an exception.I have seen Dr. Saff once. My first impression was that his office is well staffed and efficient. Everyone was cordial and I was taken right back, as I had pre-filled my medical evaluation forms online. Brandi was polite and started my exam by asking a few questions and taking my blood pressure. She offered me a bottle of water and a snack while I waited for Dr.Saff, which I appreciated. Soon Dr. Saff came in and was friendly and amicable. We talked for a time, and I described my concerns, and he asked follow up questions. He was alert and engaged. He spent more time with me than most of the physicians I have seen, and did a thorough physical examination, which I feel is a positive sign of a competent physician. He is intelligent and clearly interested in doing his best with each patient. He was not only focused on my complaint, but noticed several other issues with my skin and respiratory tract which needed… attention. He looks at the big picture, not just the immediate complaint. Then, Brandi came in and performed my allergy test of 100 antigens with speed and competence. I joked that obviously, she had done that before. She said she had worked there for (7, if memory serves) years, and she enjoys working there, as Dr. Saff is a ‘good boss’. Unfortunately, the 100 antigens I was tested for did not reveal the cause of my urticaria and hives, which occur intermittently. Dr. Saff admitted that he did not know what was causing them (another plus for honesty), but he prescribed me some different medicines to treat the symptoms and my other skin problems, which seems to be helping. He also prescribed a nasal spray for my post nasal drip and to help open my airways which has helped a lot, even though I went there mainly for my skin. He recommended I see a competent dermatologist, and recommended someone he said he would feel comfortable taking his family too. That was reassuring, since the last dermatologist I saw spent less than 5 minutes with me and did not address my problems as expected. Dr. Saff even looked up some chest X-rays I had done last year and wants to follow up by exploring my lung problems further. The office uses technology to increase the effectiveness of their patient interaction. Dr. Saff made a recording of his assessment and instructions, which was emailed to me, in case I forgot what he said. That’s a good idea! It has only been a week, but I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Saff and his staff for their efficiency, competence, and service. Their office encourages feedback on their performance, hence this review. I wish more physicians had his sense of humor and passion for their profession. I am looking forward to improving my health and quality of life with the help of Dr. Saff and his team.

Dr. Saff was very attentive and thorough. The office staff were very pleasant and professional. I am glad that I am a patient there.

It is my pleasure to recommend Dr. Saff and Brandi, his assistant, as professionals and lovely people. They were easily engaged, answered my questions knowledgeably, and we shared a few good laughs. I even let the doctor convince me to get my first flu vaccine. Brandi administered it so adeptly I didn’t realize it was done because I didn’t feel a thing! Dr. Saff recorded his diagnosis and treatment information as an audio file while reviewing it and emailed it to me so I could re-listen to it and share it with my wife. I’m surprised more doctors don’t do that. Anyway, this was a great experience for a medical visit because Dr. Saff, Brandi, and the office staff were friendly and intelligent people of good will.

Dr Saff is an excellent dr I have been going to him for 2-1/2 years for asthma and he has my asthma under control. His staff is as excellent ad he is. Cheryl Cosat

Dr. Saff was very informative and knowledgeable. He made the visit comfortable and was very easy to talk to. Staff was great as well.

So I have been going to see Dr Saff for about 3 years for re-occurring hives. First and foremost he could care less about hives. Every time I went in there, he gave me the same canned speech. “Do you know how many times a day people come in here with hives?” “About 95 percent of the time we don’t find the cause”. “Take 2 Claritin a day and come back next year”. I had a recent outbreak in May where I was waking up at least 3-4 times a week with hives. Then I was driving and my mouth and lips started to swell. Saff told me a while ago if I get swelling around the airway to go to the ER. So I did. I went back to see him after that. He now denies telling me that. Told me l wasted my time and money in doing that because l am a “Hives” patient. He seemed his usual curt, condescending self and told me to do the Claritin regimen (again). I guess hives are just not interesting enough for him. I went to a different doctor. They did an advanced set of blood tests and found… that l am allergic to beef and pork. I have Alpha-gal Syndrome. I got it from being bitten by a tick that carried the alpha-gal 1,3 protein. No cure. Thanks for nothing Saff!!

Dr. Saff and his staff are wonderful. They have always taken great care of my grandsons' allergies and they take all the time they need and treat you as if they care and don't try to rush through things. They are all very knowledgeable and Dr. Saff will make sure he handles whatever is going on with my 18 year old grandson and has you return to make sure whatever he prescribes is working. I highly recommend him.

Allergy is a complicated matter. Dr. Saff is the best I have found at sorting it out.

The whole office is very helpful, they make you feel like you are the most important person they will see that day!

I am very pleased with my recent visit. Dr. Saff and his staff were great. I was surprised to have received a follow up call from Dr’s Saff staff. I wish all doctors did that.
